2. Small stone or metal vases without inscription may be used without permission.

3. Glass vases are prohibited for safety reasons.

4. No borders of wood, stone or any material may be placed around any grave.

Dogs.

All dogs shall be kept on a leash at all times, and owners must remove dog foulings.

Christian burial ground, even while being aware of their own, perhaps painful, losses.
